In my English class we are reading the book called "Into the Wild", by Jon Krakauer. This book is about a young man bravely sets out alone on what turns into a majestic journey to explore the beauty and wonder of the world. Throughout his travels, which ultimately lead him into the wild and wilderness, he seeks and ultimately finds pleasure and joy along with a sense of truth and purpose he has been yearning for all his life. Along the way he meets and deeply touches a cast of others who are all in there own ways also looking to escape or move on from the past and enjoy life again. He leaves his family after graduating college, burns all his money, leaves his car, and decides to go to Alaska. But he dies from hunger because he was never prepared for his adventure. Do you think someone life this is considered a crazy person?
